The day of travelling!

Today we've decided to make a trip a little bit far away than Almaty is.
Our day has started with getting a bus, which has its own guide and take us everywhere. Every place was full.

During the journey to our first place, we have stopped in Gold King Museum, where we took a picture of Gold man and continued. 


At first we've visited Issyk Lake. The water was so beautifully blue with mixture of green.. We were surrounded with amazing mountains and just the whole atmosphere was great.. I've realized, that a lot of local people are enjoying going to camp. They just sit on a blanket, having a picnic and feeling the nature around. That's the think I really like here. Maybe it's because it's cheap way of recreation.

Our next stop was Turgen Waterfall. The journey to see them was about 2km in the hill, covered with stones, watered with the river and surrounded by wild nature and magical mountains. The waterfall was very refreshing. You can drink the water as well as let yourself cool down. And of course the view. Just indescribable. On our way back we've tried Kurt – small piece of something like a cheese from horse milk. And we've tried horse milk too, of course:-)
Great view..
Waterfaaal!

Later our bus went to the Trout farm, where we ordered fish-it was expensive, but very delicious. Actually the lady wanted to charge us also for sitting by table, so we moved 100m far and it was free. Funny. Other interesting things I've seen were the horseshoes. Because of the mountain area, they have three extra pieces on itself. Maybe it's normal, but for me it is at least interesting.


Our last, but not least stop was Ostrich farm, where we had dumplings with ostrich meat, tea with cookies, like Kazakh people really like and we've enjoyed small local farm-rabbits, chickens, sheep or insect. And one more thing-jurtas are everywhere!
